Luke Littler Beats Luke Humphries 6-5 in Leeds — Premier League Darts Results
Luke Littler beat Luke Humphries 6-5 in the premier league darts results from Night 14 in Leeds, and the win gave him a record-equalling sixth nightly success of the 2026 season. It also kept him clear at the top of the table with two weeks left before Finals Night at The O2 on May 28.
Leeds goes Littler’s way
Littler finished the final after Humphries missed at tops with the match in reach. Humphries had led 5-4 and held a match dart, but Littler survived, checked out 64 in the 10th leg and then broke throw with a 14-dart leg to close it out.
The result made it a hat-trick of nightly wins for Littler. It also matched his own total from 2025, underlining how quickly he has repeated that pace across the 2026 season.
Humphries falls just short
Humphries did enough earlier in the night to put himself in position for the final. He earned three points through quarter-final and semi-final wins over Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting, which lifted him into fourth place and the final Play-Off spot on 19 points.
That climb mattered because Michael van Gerwen sat one point behind after Littler beat him in the quarter-finals. Humphries also went into Leeds with the chance to make it three straight nightly wins in the city after victories there in 2024 and 2025, but Littler denied that run at the last hurdle.
Littler’s route through Night 14
Littler reached a fifth-straight nightly final by beating van Gerwen and Jonny Clayton, and the quarter-final meeting with van Gerwen turned into a long scrap before either player found a clean finish. Between them, they missed 21 total darts at double before Littler eventually settled the match.
He also produced a 141 checkout in the fifth leg against van Gerwen, then followed that kind of scoring touch against Humphries with a 146 checkout in the final. After the win, Littler said, "A very good night. Every game, apart from the first match [between Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton], went to a last-leg decider so the crowd definitely got their money's worth tonight!"
He added, "I'm very happy with myself and now I can go on to break my own record." That is the next target now: keep top spot, protect the lead, and carry the form into the final two weeks before The O2.
